Flipping a coin 32 times and getting heads every single time
This is possible
Some say it's impossible... but that's false

very possible but highly unlikey
each flip is an independent event and has as much opportunity to land heads as tails. Landing heads 32 times or even 50 times is possible just not likely
reminds me of a guy i met in Vegas. He was convinced that when Roulette wheel either showed 5 even/odds in a row or 5 red/blacks in a row he had a distinct advantage betting the opposite on the sixth
He would run from our BJ table when he spotted the 5's in a row on any board throughout the Rio.
How did the story end?
15 blacksw in a row and a very upset individual
I asked at Caesars one time how many in row was record and the guy told me 41
Seemed like bullshit but you never know
Can happen mathematically but not very likely

Have seen guys chase this on sports as well with ATS records. Their thinking was that the ATS trend had to change. "Due" theory all over again.

When I was 19, I jerked of 52 times and spewed evertime. What are the odds?
